HTILLIN THE RING.

Although slightly dis6gurod, James
g. Blaine is still in the ring as can
didate for the Presidency. His recent
letter Is bid for Republican nomina-
ton In 1888. IN that letter he dwelt
with rapturotj enthusiasm on the
achievements Of Abraham Lincoln
and what the Republican party had
accom- plished. While Lincoln was
building up his greatness and the Re-
publican party was making the history
t. which Blaine points with pride, the
"Plumed knight" was accommodating
a fortune Of several millions Of dollars.
1t would require the aid Of a micro
scope to detect anything ever done by
Blsine that would rebound to the
glory OF the country. During the late
war there were on both sides generals
without an army, generals without
battle, generals without victory, who
in time Of peace pose as heroes and
there are politicians whose names are
not associated with any great meas
ure Of public policy, that
arrogate TO themselves the leadership
OF the party built up by better and
abler men, and James G. Blaine Is the
most conspicuous Of this class. He
carries as his trophy all the achieve
ments and triumphs Of his party as the
Indian chief carries his scalps to his
belt. He has no right by valuable SER
vices to arrogate such prominence. He
a inmates gunpowder, and during the
war his achievement was confined to
amassing money for himself by con-
tracts with the government. His name
Is not identified with any statesman
like measure. In the reconstruction
policy Of his party he did nothing
than the part of voting subordinate.
He did not leave upon the records of
Congress any wise counsel as 10 the
finances OF the nation. Even on the
tariff itself Mr.. Blaine was nota leader.
That measure owed to him nothing.
The truth Is that this man who towers
80 erandly above all other Republicans
is not identified with one single
original act of siatesm anship.
Even in the advocacy Of the work
Of others, he has never exhibited
statesmanlike qualities. His speeches
ars not great speeches; they never
rise above the partisan demagogue.
Yet he makes himself colossus to
bestrlde the Republican party. The
power Of Blsine's personality is great,
but he will never again force himself
on his party, and 1t is still moro car
tain he will never be President Of the
United States.

"There never was a more careless,
reckless, Indifferent Congress" The

THE DEPOsITORs OF THE BANK
OF TENNESSEE,


There is no reason why the State
should not pay the deposltors OF the
Stae Bank whose money 1t seized by
force and appropriated to It's uses and
purposes in 1861. When II established
that bank ia 1888 it invited and Sc
cured the confidence Of the people,
Subsequently the bank maintained
that confidence by fair dealing, and
the extent OF il was certified
TO by the enormous profits 1t
made every year until the war put an
end to It's operations, That catastrophe
found deposits to the amount OF ST.
100000 In the parent bank and
branches, deposits made In good faith,
money that did not belong to the bank
and Of which 1t was only the custo-
dian. This money was due by the
bank to its depositors and should
have been paid by the state at the
time when It was winding up the
ahsirs OF the bank, which was its prop
erty and for which ID alone was re-
sponsible. Had private bank been
forced TO wind up Its affairs
under like circumstances, there
could have been no doubt
as TO what the State courts would
have compelled its stockholders to do.
The safety OF deposits Is the measure
OF sacred trust, and the State
should not permit day to run with
ont making restitution to the people
it has so long deirauded, The deposi'
tors should be paid, and in money.
They deposited bin or it's equivalent
and coin or it's equivalent they should
receive.
